I realize im going to need a laptop for college next year, but i have no idea whats hot these days. What kind of stuff do you guys have, and what are the good brands out there right now? what i mainly need is for it to be light and for the battery to run a long time. gaming is unimportant. im looking between $1000 and $1500 US if not less.

bah, go all out and buy the one you can draw on and shit. fucking brain fart.

Go for mobile cpu's, Pentium-M/Centrino in particular.
For 1000-1500$ you should easily be able to find a laptop if gaming not is important.

Well don't hit me for saying this BUT you could/should (if you ask me) go with 14-inch iBook costs about 1500$ or the smaller ones if you don't want to spend that much. You get state of the art machinery and state-of-the-fucking-art OS Mac OS 10.4 TIGERRRR! Plus you get so much software to go that you'll choke.

I did 3 months of research on laptops before i bought mine. My requirements were:
under $1500, must have a independant graphics card for 3d games and 3d apps to run well so at least a 64mb video card. battery must last longer than 3 hours.
I picked up a gateway 7405 GX from best buy for $1200, 2 ghz Athlon 64 with 64 mb radeon card, 512 ram and I successfully played UT2004 for 5 hours on the plane to GDC. It has built-n wireless, sound and have a wide screen display
I always thought gateway made mediocre computers,but im very happy with my purchase -
the laptop runs Maya PLe with paint effects turned on like a dream
it also ran 3dsmax demo extremely well, with normal mapping . I'm very happy with my first laptop. -
